Renowned NYC Gallery, VILLIAZAN Gallery is very happy to present the latest solo series by New York based artists Jared Brook. Dubbed Glimpses of Infatuation, the short series of acrylic paintings will be showcased at VILLAZAN’s New York gallery starting from February 8 until February 28.
Jared offers viewers ten acrylic paintings on wood canvas that tells a story detailing the stages of passionate love. Each painting showcases a character who seems to be confronting an emotion relayed by Brooks as emotions of solitude, desire, yearning, and introspection. Providing a sense of voyeurism, each viewer has a chance to look at the inner thoughts of the depicted characters.
“The depicted figures, from their poses to their penetrating gazes to the tender yet firm rendering of their flesh, compel a dialogue with reclining figures spanning centuries of art history. They evoke a sense of camaraderie among classical figures, yet this time infusing the scenes with a bold and unapologetic queerness. This evident expression might stem from Brook’s challenging adolescence, marked by the suppression of his sexual identity due to the stringent religious upbringing he received from his family in Central Europe.”
